Investigators Discover Black Glove in Search for Nancy Guthrie’s Kidnappers

The search for Nancy Guthrie’s kidnappers takes a dramatic turn with the discovery of a black glove by FBI agents. This crucial piece of evidence was found along a roadside near Guthrie’s residence in Tucson, Arizona. The glove is similar to those worn by an armed suspect captured on security footage during the abduction of the 84-year-old woman.

Details of the Investigation

The black glove was located approximately 1.5 miles from Nancy Guthrie’s home. FBI investigators were actively searching the area, combing through low shrubbery around the secluded suburb. This search is part of a broader investigation into the circumstances surrounding Guthrie’s presumed kidnapping.

Video Evidence and Suspect Identification

• Footage has surfaced showing a male suspect wearing black gloves, a ski mask, and a holstered weapon.
• This individual is seen vandalizing the security camera at the front of Nancy Guthrie’s home.

According to the FBI, this video evidence marks the first significant breakthrough in the 10-day search for the missing woman. On the same day, authorities detained Carlos Palazuelos, a delivery driver, as a person of interest. However, he was released without charges shortly after.

Community and Law Enforcement Response

The FBI expressed gratitude for the support from the Tucson community and reiterated the $50,000 reward for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s safe return. As investigators continue their efforts, they have not commented on specific details or potential leads related to the case.

Ransom Notes and Bitcoin Demands

Amid the ongoing investigation, a mysterious note was sent to media outlet TMZ, demanding a Bitcoin payment in exchange for information about Guthrie’s whereabouts. The latest communication requests approximately $67,000 in Bitcoin, with a promise of revealing the name of the individual responsible for her disappearance.

• This is the third such note received since Nancy was last seen on January 31.
• Previous ransom demands have set a deadline for payment but failed to provide proof of life.

As this story develops, authorities remain hopeful that this newfound evidence will lead to significant progress in solving the case of Nancy Guthrie’s abduction.
